Because I wanted him to call me, like he called the other four all ins, he had nothing but obviously didn't value the cash he was betting (ignoring the fact he had to suckout to win).

My thoughts.... he's called four hands in a row, when against an all in, everytime he's had nothing and only commited a small amount to the pot so could have got out easily without having to call the all in.  I have top pair, odds are he's nothing again as his betting pattern is exactly the same as when he had nothing on the other four hands so.... re-raise all in and hope he calls BUT doesn't suckout like the last four.  He's either too rich to care about a few hundred dollars, drunk or on tilt from another table if he's called the last four, so why not call me??

Decision.... Go all in and see what happens.

I'm not bothering with this thread again, people got me all wrong and I cant be bothered to keep explaining so this is my last post.

Feel free to use it as a lapdancing story base.

Good luck all.

I didn't think he had anythingl, the four hands previously he did the same as he did to me [bet, got raised, he re-raised and got caught with absolutely nothing BUT then sucked out (to KK twice!)]  It wasn't about a bad beat story, it was about my luck at trying to catch maniacs out and getting the one hand where they actually have something valid to start with.

the fan is where ever the fan grill is on your laptop, some are located on the bottom so easily blocks if put on carpet or your lap.  Some are on the back.

It could be one of one of three things (and that depends on the make of your laptop)

Firstly and most likely.. Either your fan is blocked or bust, if it's working try making sure the air can get to it as over-heating not only damages your internal components but your screen as well.  If bust and in warrentee then just send it back, if not, you ucan get a fan from PC world for about £3-6 and fit it yourself easily.

Secondly is your Disc Drive... Most laptops today come with CD/DVD re-writers, these can get very hot and usually located in the left hand side of the laptop, even if you aren't using it, but leave a disc in there, the heat generated is enough to heat the screen so it starts 'phasing' like you described.  Whenever a search or location is required, it scans the CD/DVD too and the laser for re-writing is more powerful than the usual CD reader.  If this is the problem, remove any CDs/DVDs when not in use and only use it for a short while.

Thirdly (and not as likely) I you own a Toshiba laptop, the blue-tooth module is located in the top left hand corner and some older models have a design fault where if left on and discoverable, will run in a loop constantly, heating up, damaging other things (like the DVD drive) until it finally give up the ghost after about 9-12 months.

Any more probs just post and I'll try and answer.

Also gone

Given the low amount you raised and the fact he's in early position, a T/A and gone all in, he's more than likely got JJ, QQ, KK or even AA in which case you're screwed.  I'd have let this one go and just bitch to myself for him getting one up on me.

I played online, lost, said something, people got arsey and it's finished with...... now go find another thread that's more interesting!

Quick update on names for the Karaoke SnG...

Dewi Cool the guy that donated his chips, then took out Tightend with crap on river whilst trying to bust myself out before my ride home left me there, Colchester Kev was the third place bubble-grabber (until he found out it was only paying top two! lol) and Ruthless was the charming lady that I was (again) lucky to beat. 

There, it might not be any more interseting to you but written down means I'll remember their names so this is more for me than you! lol

Idea for Mr Trump for the next series....

"The Hicks" v's "The ones that DONT have sexual relations with their own sister", after visiting America a few times and seeing the difference on how these two groups do things differently (Hicks usually involving a gun and a pick-up), I think the challenges would be great viewing! 

OR..... Set it in Texas where the death penalty is so loose you can have your neighbour wiped out for farting over your boundary, then Mr Trump (no pun intended!) can see them all in the gas chamber at the end ".....at the end of this, one of you WILL get gassed!!!"  I think all the stupid mind games would go right out the window and they'd start trying to win!!
